I wish I knew what time we were eating...this is the first year in 20 years that I am not preparing the meal. We were invited to join my parents and my brother and his family. We usually spend it with my in-laws. This year I said that I wanted to spend it with my family for a change and Mrs B did not argue. My in-laws argued and no matter how I tried to explain it, it just did not sit well with them. So in the end, like it or lump it, we won't be there.

I think my father-in-law has gotten used to good food as my mother-in-law could not cook if her life depended on it. I will never forget the first time he had a meal I prepared after Mrs B and I got married. He looked at me and said now this is home cookin' and he also immediately got slapped.

Gee wiz, we served dinner at 11:55am and H was nowhere to be found. I looked high, I looked low, I looked near, and far, I looked north, south, east, and west...he was just nowhere to be found. It was the best Thanksgiving dinner I have had in a long time. Got to love my niece and my daughter.

My niece says Grammy, I hate the punkin bread and I don't like the stuffin either. I like the banana bread and the cheese cake, so can I have more of those.

My daughter being a little older and having just about as much tact says "Grammy, Daddy makes a better tasting stuffing than you do and it is not as dry as yours, you should take some lessons from him." "But he could learn a few things about cherry covered cheese cake". Can I have more of that.
